Fergus Ryan goes on an epic two-day Trans-Alpine e-MTB adventure from Tende, France, to the stunning Italian Riviera! We push our limits and our e-bike’s range, tackling over 2,400m of vertical climbing on secret, ancient mountain trails and steep alpine switchbacks. Packed with technical ascents, breathtaking ridge lines, and key insights into our motor and battery setup, this is the ultimate big-mountain e-MTB journey.

Brilliant trail and beautiful scenery. Engaging commentary. Definitely makes you want to get out there. Thanks for sharing.
900 Wh is absurd 😮 I thought I had a lot in my Neo SL with 600…
That is truly an amazing ride although some scary drops 😮
Beautiful ride & amazing Day 1 stats. How much battery did you have left after that first day? TIA.
